Remington 1100 Ejection Problem

My dad's 1100 is having some cycling problems. The first shell is shot but will not eject and jams before allowing a 2nd shot.

He doesn't duck hunt anymore so I will eventually inherit it. I was looking in the Mack Prairie Wings catalog and came across the Sure Cycle Action System and was just wondering if any of you have had any experiences with Sure Cycle?

Completely clean the gun. Take the barrel off and get a small drill bit and using your fingers spin the bit inside the gas ports. Replace the Rubber o ring and soak the stainless gas ring in cleaner and then slightly oil. When putting the stainless gas ring back on make sure the openings on the two rings are on different sides of the carrier.

Thats what I do. I have a custom competition 1100 and it gets cleaned completely after ever time I shoot it.

If those ports under the barrel havent been cleaned in a long time then they are prolly close to being completely closed up and are prolly the biggest problem. Also that rubber ring can cause alot of problems if it hasnt been replaced in over a year.

Watch Youtube videos on disassembly. Clean every single thing on it. I break mine down to bare bones every 2 or 3 years and haven't ever had a FTE or FTF. Mine is 40yrs old and I shot it heavily 5-15 years ago. Not a lick of trouble ever and I would take it over any new gun on the market in a heartbeat.

Follow that to a T. I have heard that you can cheap out on the O-ring, but I wouldn't. Completely cleaning it means that afterwards, you can't take any parts off of other parts, not just wiping it down a couple of times

It could be something as simple as it wasn't put back together properly. That would cause it not to cycle correctly
